OP
He doesn't appear to have the traction he did in 2008. I'm not sure what happened to his followers.

(645 posts)1. if "polling in single digits" is "in contention" then yes.
though who knows, no one has polled HI and they are having caucus's, he might do ok there.

The media considers the race a 3 MAN race as if Ron Paul isn't even in the room.

This especially makes me laugh because my republican parents & family had to vote in that primary. I've been holding back on asking them who they voted for

it is one of the smallest caucus states with likely on a couple of thousand voting, it is a very different political climate, more progressives, and he sent his son to campaign there for him.
But still, I think when the Hawaii results come in at 2 am... it will go to Romney.
But we'll see.
